After decades of China’s market domination for high -performance cars with precision engineering, German automakers lose to Chinese opponents who have shifted the definition of a high -tech car to an electric, smart and accessible car.Many new Chinese vehicles resemble their German opponents, such as the wildly popular Xiaomi SU7, which mimics Porsche’s Taycan.
